Abstract

Identity theft is a serious crime growing rapidly due to the ever-tighter integration of technology into people's lives. The psychological and financial loss to individual victims is devastating, and its costs to society at large staggering. In order to better understand the problem and to combat the crime more effectively, a comprehensive review of issues related to identity theft is performed in this paper. The human element of the crime is examined, along with the exploits used by perpetrators and countermeasures that have been developed. The findings highlight areas in need of continued research and guidelines that should benefit individuals and organizations in their pursuit of potential solutions.
